Banded ...Day 2.

Today is day 2 of being banded.

I am eating jello, popsicles, broth, water, and I have some sugar free apple juice. Oh and ice, LOTS of ice.

I am so gassy its miserable, I bought the gas-x strips extra strength and they are doing no good. I don't know if its gas, or if its the band that is hurting, but its a sharp stabbing pain right in the center of my back where my bra strap would sit. My incisions are itchy and sore, but IDK what they look like, they are still bandaged up.
If I lay down to take a nap and actually get some sleep when I wake up I feel awesome, then I move and that sharp pain comes right back. It's not there continuously it comes and goes.
Hubby says its all the gas they filled me with. Ugh I cant stand it.
I stayed over night in the hospital after my surgery, there was no way in hell I could have gotten in a car and drove home. NO WAY. I was in some serious pain!!
But it seems to get a little better each day. I go outside and walk my back yard in laps. My back yard is about 1/10 of a mile all the way around. And I walk it at least 3 times. Someone else can do the math, I am not in the mood.. but I know its enough to make me have a small sweat (no, couldn't be the 100% humidity) and I come back in and I feel better.
My daughter and I took my measurements today, and I need to take my ''fat'' picture.
I'm not a religious person, and I am known to ramble but here is my prayer;

Lord, please help this gas pass out of my body, let this band be the tool that I need to get my life back, please help me when I am falling and help me find the strength to overcome this and get through to the other side. - Amen.
